Pitch Invasion?

[citymad]

The few dickheads encroaching before the end of the game need a ban.

I'm up in SS3 and quite a few 'left early' I assume to try and get back in to level 1.

As for the invasion itself, no damage was done, I took a few piccies of fans on the pitch, went for a slash & a vape then back to my spot, 10 mins or so, it was all good.

Slash and vape made me laugh.

Have just been trying to remember all the pitch invasions in my life time (Born 83, first match 88), I'm sure there was many before this (Newcastle away 68, Old Trafford 74 after Laws goal but that might have been them?) but 40 years plus seems a good chunk of time

1985 v Charlton Promotion (during the game after the first couple of goals and after the match)
1989 v Bradford Promotion (Away)
1993 v Spurs (I assume we just wanted to celebrate that Terry Phelan goal!)
1999 v Wigan Play Off Semi
2000 v Birmingham last home game of the season, nearly up (went too soon on this one)
2000 v Blackburn Promotion (Away)
2012 v QPR Aguerooooooooo
2014 v West Ham - Champions on last day
2018 v Swansea - 1st game after we'd been crowned Champions
2022 v Villa - Champions on last day
2023 v Chelsea - 1st game after being crowned Champions/last home game
2024 v West Ham - Champions on last day

Any more to add? Was there one v Chelsea last game of the 2000/2001 Season when we got relegated that stopped the match early, possible because of fighting?

Yep. Lost 2-1 and the gee gees were on the pitch.

We were fined 250 k last time , probably double this time , it does matter , they are morons

I think we can afford it. Just.

Loved the pitch invasion, didn't go on myself but did last year. It was harmless fun and cleared quickly. I don't think the club are arsed by it, they have to been seen to be warning fans but they know it's harmless fun .

Centurions season- didn’t we run on for the final 3 games, Huddersfield, Brighton and Swansea? We’d already wrapped up the league.

No they aren’t endangering the players. There’s nothing malicious about a good natured pitch invasion celebrating a title win.

There’s more danger from a poor tackle on a City player during the match.

If and when Pep and the players all come out and ask the fans to stop invading the pitch, then fair enough, title winning pitch invasions may end at the Etihad. I’ve yet to hear that from Pep or from any of the players.

The players all went over to those coming on the pitch during the game to say fuck right off , tbey ignored them , morons

Generally don't care about it as long as no one touches ours or oppo players. It's not for me, but like it or hate it it's "tradition" now.

The fans running on with two minutes to play and disrupting the game for selfies are fucking knobheads.

Unfortunately my grass isn’t as good as City’s grass. Just cut it.

The little crew that came on first were wankers . I thought they were away fans being escorted until the prick in the dark grey romper suit started giving it large. No coppers anywhere and the dick needed twatting. That's when Erling came over and told em to fuck off

Normally agree with you PPT but not here

Surprised you even saw the pitch invasion, aren't you one of those awful early leavers ;-)

Each to their own.
I left early after the trophy lift :-)
(And I wasn’t the only one!)
